The NFL draft is finally here!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After months of guessing, gabbing and grousing about who picks whom and where, Round 1 is upon us. Soon we will find out who the Bucs pick \u2014\u00a0 when we return to Pittsburgh right after these messages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Or the Bucs could trade back. Some well-plugged-in reporters get that vibe. Joe feels like that\u2019s the Bucs\u2019 preferred option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Comment here all night to fight and gnash your teeth about what the Bucs should do \u2014 and don\u2019t do.
